[16 Apr 2009|09:03pm] We saw this very clearly with the recent Somali pirate standoff. For days before the final rescue, Limbaugh had been accusing Obama of not taking the problem seriously enough, bellowing that "idiots like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama think pirates and terrorists -- and this is terrorism -- are criminals, not enemies." Then, once Obama ordered the Navy to act, Limbaugh was suddenly outraged that he'd gone too far, lamenting what he described as "the killing of three black Muslim kids" who were "shot on the high seas at the order of President Obama." It's amazing how quickly "terrorists" can become "three black Muslim kids" when there is political hay to be made. --- Huffpost 1 comment|post comment

5 to 7$ charge to use our own park? [05 Apr 2009|06:49pm] http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2009/03/30/18584827.php The City is sponsoring a "community meeting" to discuss the conversion of the public space at the Botanical Garden at Strybing Arboretum into a paid-admission facility. It will be at 6:30 PM on Monday, April 6, 2009. in the Hall of Flowers (County Fair Building). It's next to the main entrance to the Arboretum at 9th/Lincoln. The Park and Recreation Department, together with the Botanical Garden at Strybing Arboretum management, are planning to charge $5–$7 to enter the gardens and lie on the grass, sit on the benches, or watch the ducks. One or more of the four entrances are likely to be closed. This is outrageous! Please show up to voice your concern. Signs and costumes are welcome! 6 comments|post comment

[03 Feb 2009|07:13pm] [ mood | lonely ] [ music | sunset now by whoever that was ] 2 reasons today was intensely depressing--- 1, i went out to a bar last night and saw this guy I thought I recognized - one of those ones you always think would have been "perfect" and got through your fingers- in my case cuz i was too chicken shit to pursue or  evne say what i thought........ Lets call him "Javier". Lets call him that cuz that's his name. He moved to San Diego some time ago. It was him after all but the thought of him first made me paralyzed and then a deporession started. So i didn't go chat him up. No shortage of others who'd eventually try....... 2. then this morning, I got a racist email from my dad. some "Christian", spreading shit like that over the internet....... going to SFMOMA and Yerba Buena center for the atrs did not lift spirits--- what crap looking at some tropical flowers in GGP helped a little. 2 comments|post comment

hahahahaha [22 Jan 2009|01:06am] , originally uploaded by robbroccoli. CNN's Larry King talks with "The Queen of Soul" about the reality of the nation's first black president, singing at the inauguration and the much-talked-about hat she wore. Larry King: Where'd you get that hat? Aretha Franklin: Well, I bought it at a little millinery that I frequent out in Detroit. King: What was that like for you (Tuesday)? Franklin: Oh. What a tremendous, mammoth morning, evening, the ball, everything, from one event to the other, was just too much. King: How did you find out you were singing? Franklin: My agent called me and he told me that he had received an invitation and a telephone call, asking for my presence and performance at the swearing-in and the inauguration. King: Did you choose the song? Franklin: Yes, I did. King: Is that a tough song to sing? Franklin: No, not at all, but (Tuesday) it was. Mainly because of the temperature outside. I don't have to tell you, it was freezing, if you were there. Some singers it doesn't bother, and others it does. I don't care for it. It affected my voice. King: You sang at Martin Luther King's funeral. What do you remember about that? Franklin: There were very, very long lines, of course. I recall walking in the street behind the bier, somewhere maybe about 200, 300 feet from the bier, I think. I recall Leontyne Price being there, as well as Eartha Kitt. They shuttled us from one point to the other. The passing of a great man was at hand. King: How did you feel yesterday about seeing a young black man elected president? Franklin: Oh boy, how do you put it into words? There's a love affair going on with the country and Barack. I think it's the age of Barack. People have just fallen head over heels in love with him. His assent to the presidency was miraculous. But we have to remember that he's not going to work miracles right off the top. It's going to take time. (There's) a lot of problems, and there's a plethora of things to deal with for he and his administration. King: One thing, with your magnificent voice, is it hard to sing outdoors? Franklin: It depends on the temperature. Yesterday, Mother Nature was not very kind to me. I'm going to deal with her when I get home. It, by no means, was my standard. I was not happy with it, but I just feel blessed because it could have been five above zero or five below zero like it is in Detroit. I was still blessed to be able to pretty much just sing the melody, but I wasn't happy with it, of course. King: It was great to listen to. Franklin: I was delighted and thrilled to be there. That was the most important thing, not so much the performance, but just to be there and to see this great man go into office -- the promise of tomorrow coming to pass. post comment
